Liberty High School Home

This past Friday night was one to remember as the Liberty Spirit Team took the field alongside a record 128 Mini Pats, the largest group in program history. The Mini Pats, ranging in age from 4 to 12, were each partnered with a member of the Liberty Spirit Team, creating an unforgettable experience for all involved.

This year, Liberty High School is proud to announce a schoolwide community service partnership with the Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK), an organization dedicated to improving the lives of families and individuals throughout our region. CAPK provides vital programs such as food distribution, early childhood education, youth and family services, and energy assistance, all aimed at building stronger and more resilient communities.

Liberty High School is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our current senior class on last spring’s California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). This group of exceptional students has demonstrated excellence, perseverance, and academic growth that reflects years of hard work from elementary school through high school.

This Friday night, before the start of the Liberty High School football game, the Liberty community will come together to honor one of its founding visionaries, Pat Preston. In a special ceremony, a plaque will be presented to his wife, Patty Preston, and another will be mounted permanently on the Liberty Bell, preserving his memory and the legacy he built with his own hands and heart.

On Friday, September 6th, Liberty High’s Just Serve Club, advised by Michelle Lord, showed what it truly means to serve with heart. Thirty-eight students arrived bright and early at 6:30 a.m. to volunteer at the SALT “Save a Life” event held at Riverwalk Park, and they stayed until noon, giving their time, energy, and compassion to make the event a success.

This year marked a historic milestone for Liberty High School — for the first time in well over a decade, Liberty FFA proudly returned to the show ring at the Kern County Fair. Under the leadership of Mrs. Maghan Miller, our students not only competed but excelled, earning top honors and representing Liberty with dedication, teamwork, and school pride. We congratulate Mrs. Miller and every Liberty FFA member for an outstanding showing and for setting the bar high in our return year.

Six years ago, Liberty High School launched Patriot Listening Circles, a program designed to bring students together in meaningful conversation. Since its beginning, the initiative has continued to grow and evolve, creating opportunities for students to share their voices, build connections, and strengthen the Liberty community.

This past Thursday evening, Liberty High School carried forward one of its most meaningful traditions as the Golden Games returned during the Liberty vs. Frontier volleyball matchup. Sponsored by ASB, this annual event unites our Patriot community to raise both awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
The evening opened with powerful words of welcome:

“Welcome, everyone to tonight’s special volleyball game! We’re so excited to host our ‘Golden Games’ event dedicated to raising awareness for childhood cancer. Tonight, we honor the incredible strength of young cancer fighters and survivors. We’re especially proud to recognize one of our very own, Lucas Tate, a junior here at Liberty High School who bravely fought and beat cancer at just 19 months old.”
